What if many innovations would be enjoyed only virtually?
Virtual-Only products satisfy human appetite for newness. They are
displayed in virtual galleries for public perception or projected into
homes and offices for individuals on demand. Most of these
products are never materialised.

What if experimenting social and technological innovation would be
at the core of successful innovation systems?
Public authorities strive to foster a permanent stage of collective
experimentation through a loosely connected network of local
bottom-up projects. Enablers for collective experimentation such as
innovation toolkits form the critical infrastructure for public
experimentation.

problem solving?
Innovation camps are used by companies, public sector and civil
society to solve problems from high-tech challenges to
neighbourhood facilities. Most people regularly join innovation
camps.

What if innovation is primarily directed at the “other 90%” of the
world population living in poverty?
Extreme low-cost/high-innovation strategies prevail. Rich world
companies struggle as they lack the competences and culture
required. Innovators from today’s emerging markets fare much
better due to their longstanding experience.

What if fabrication laboratories for everybody with flexible
manufacturing equipment, become widely available and allow
people to produce ever more products themselves?
Self-production of personalised objects is the standard way of
producing commodities directly at home or in “create it yourself
shops/malls” with optional professional support. Companies just
deliver materials, components, equipment and design tools. Brands
do hardly play a role any more.

involved into innovation activities. Creativity is part of any jobs
daily routine and is key in performance measurements. Part of the
job is to redefine the job it-self.

What if companies no longer innovate themselves but fully

of which are top-favourite employers for creative people.

What if companies use digital systems to randomly create and test
innovation variants before selecting the “fittest” for further
development?
Enormous amounts of variants are tested, often with an unexpected
outcome. Design, creativity and consumer research loose relevance.
Engineers dream of ultimately simulating the end-user and thus
fully automate the innovation process.

What if the bulk of successful and disruptive innovations were to
come from today’s emerging markets?
The West adopts the role of a follower and has to face products
primarily designed for different cultural context. Western companies
wishfully look to Asia, often with the help of industrial espionage.
Creative people migrate to the new innovation hot spots in Asia and
send back their money home to the US and Europe.
